Combat Puffiness and Dark Circles: Restore Bright, Radiant Eyes
At Boundless by M, we believe that your eyes are the window to your overall well-being, and taking care of them is essential for maintaining a refreshed, youthful appearance. Puffiness and dark circles can be caused by lack of sleep, stress, fluid retention, and poor circulation, leaving the delicate eye area looking tired and dull.
The good news? With targeted skincare, soothing techniques, and mindful self-care, you can reduce puffiness and brighten your under-eye area for a more revitalised, radiant look.
Why Do Puffiness and Dark Circles Occur?
Before tackling the solution, it’s important to understand why puffiness and dark circles appear:
Lack of Sleep: Poor sleep leads to sluggish circulation, causing fluid buildup and dullness under the eyes.
Dehydration: Insufficient hydration results in dry, sunken skin, making dark circles appear more prominent.
Allergies & Sinus Congestion: These can contribute to swelling and fluid retention around the eyes.
Aging & Collagen Loss: As we age, skin loses elasticity, making dark circles and puffiness more visible.
Lifestyle Factors: High salt intake, alcohol, stress, and screen time can all contribute to under-eye concerns.
While some causes are genetic or age-related, adopting a consistent and effective eye-care routine can dramatically improve the look of puffiness and dark circles over time.
Simple Yet Effective Ways to Reduce Puffiness and Dark Circles
1. Cool Compress Therapy
A cold compress applied to the eyes helps reduce inflammation, constrict blood vessels, and decrease swelling. Try placing a chilled spoon, cool jade roller, or damp cold cloth over your eyes for 5–10 minutes to refresh and depuff instantly.
2. Hydrate & Nourish with Satin Dew Luxurious Hydrating Moisturiser
Hydration is key to maintaining smooth, bright, and plump under-eyes. Using a rich yet lightweight moisturiser can help combat dryness, strengthen the skin barrier, and enhance radiance.

3. Gentle Lymphatic Massage for Under-Eye Circulation
A light lymphatic drainage massage can encourage fluid movement, reducing puffiness and improving circulation.
Here’s how to do it:
Use your fingertips or a cooling tool to gently massage the under-eye area.
Start at the inner corners and lightly tap outward toward the temples.
Use soft circular motions to stimulate drainage and de-puff the skin.
Repeat for 1–2 minutes each morning for the best results.
4. Prioritise Hydration & a Balanced Diet
What you put inside your body reflects on your skin. Ensure you are:
Drinking plenty of water to flush out toxins and reduce fluid retention.
Eating antioxidant-rich foods like berries, leafy greens, and citrus to brighten the skin.
Reducing salt and alcohol intake, which contribute to puffiness and dehydration.
5. Get Quality Sleep & Reduce Screen Time
A good night’s sleep is essential for skin renewal. Lack of rest can cause dark circles and fluid retention. Try:
Sleeping with an elevated pillow to prevent fluid from pooling around the eyes.
Using blue light filters to reduce eye strain from screens.
Applying a nourishing eye cream before bed to lock in hydration overnight.
